Terminator Salvation's Arnold Replacement

Schwarzenegger, Kickinger

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins is a horrible title for a movie, but it might eventually fall into that category of awful sequel titles that allow mockery of any new sequel - a la 2 Fast 2 Furious or the ubiquitous Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. Anyway, one of the many questions circling around the production involved how McG plans to handle the T-800 situation. Now, it's revealed that he won't have to wrangle the governor of California to play a robot from the future again. They've just wrangled up another Austrian bodybuilder who looks just like Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he's got a name built for action movies - Roland Kickinger. That's almost like Henry Killinger from The Venture Brothers.

It seems Kickinger has already doubled for Ahh-nuld before - playing him in an A&E biography, and he's trained with Schwarzenegger himself, so he's a natural for the part of standing their in a leather jacket and speaking monotonously.
